Just over a year ago, the NDA had beaten Jagan\u00a0Mohan Reddy\u2019s party in the state elections. (File pic\/PTI)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

All 36 MPs from Andhra Pradesh voted for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Tuesday\u2019s Vice President elections<\/a>, bringing together political adversaries like the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).<\/span><\/p>\n

This triggered objections from the Congress, which said YSCRP chief <\/span>Jagan<\/span> Mohan Reddy had chosen to back the NDA in fear of CBI cases and remarked that history won\u2019t forget this \u201csurrender and betrayal” of the former chief minister. The YSRCP, with 11 MPs, justified its move, citing \u201cnational interest”, and slammed the Congress for foisting the \u201cCBI cases” against its supremo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to News18, senior YSCRP MP in the Rajya Sabha YV <\/span>Subbareddy<\/span>\u00a0said <\/span>Jagan<\/span>\u00a0Mohan Reddy was \u201cnot a spineless person” who would get afraid of CBI cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCBI cases were falsely foisted by your party (Congress). We have been facing these cases for the last 14 years, not now. Even when we were in power and in the opposition. We did not look back. <\/span>Jagan<\/span> Mohan Reddy is not a spineless person like your party people who have implicated him in false cases. We have the guts to face them because we did nothing,” <\/span>Subbareddy<\/span>\u00a0told News18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just over a year ago, the NDA had beaten <\/span>Jagan<\/span> Mohan Reddy\u2019s party in the state elections. The TDP has been a crucial member of the NDA at the Centre since 2024 with 16 Lok Sabha MPs, and has been at loggerheads with the YSRCP. But <\/span>Subbareddy<\/span>\u00a0said the YSRCP\u2019s move to vote for the NDA candidate was \u201cin the interest of the country” as it is a prestigious election. \u201cOur party president took the decision to back the NDA candidate much before the opposition alliance announced its candidate, B <\/span>Sudershan<\/span>\u00a0Reddy,” <\/span>Subbareddy<\/span>\u00a0said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said that, as per tradition, his party believed that a President or Vice President should be elected unanimously. \u201cAt the time our party president decided to back the NDA candidate, there was no candidate from the other side. When NDA sought support from our party, we extended our support,” <\/span>Subbareddy<\/span>\u00a0said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked about the BRS and the BJD abstaining from voting in order to maintain equidistance from both blocs, he said, \u201cIt is better you ask those parties. We think that keeping in mind the highest values of democracy, one should go for voting, and hence our 11 MPs have voted.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The 36 MPs from Andhra Pradesh in both houses of Parliament include 11 MPs from YSRCP, 18 MPs from the TDP, five from the BJP, and two from the JSP (an NDA ally). All of them say they have voted for the NDA candidate, CP Radhakrishnan.<\/span><\/p>\n
